Do I have a shot with this Pullett being an Olive egger?

View attachment 1948220 Crossed an Double laced Black Barneveld with my lavender Americana. Both pure and no cross.

What's the chance we finally get a green egg?

Well, where did you get the Barnie from? Some breeders concentrate more on the double lacing rather than egg color, wear as most hatcheries concentrate on egg color rather than the look of the lacing. If your Barnie hens lay darker brown, and you got this rooster from the same batch, then its likely that your EE will lay olive eggs. Its a waiting game!

My barnie hen does lay brown eggs. This girls mom lays blue to blue/green eggs. I Guesss we will just have to wait.

How dark are her eggs? the Barnie? That's the key... The Barnevelder breed lays brown, but some lay dark and some lay light brown. For an olive egger, the darker the better.
